This player has now missed 8 games for your Phantasy Phootball team.

I must ask that you sell him on, or I will be deducting 2 points for every further missed game.

riotact : like a phoenix from the ashes

MB, first i want to apologize for my absentee PP management. i didn't realize how little time i would have to dedicate to it, and i only have limited net access here in california.

about laville, i picked him knowing of his knee problems and despite his bad luck i want to hold on to him because he is a personal favorite of mine and a very good player to boot. does this article justify a little more patience?

Brown: Laville close to Bolton return

Bolton Wanderers assistant boss Phil Brown says defender Florent Laville is close to a first team comeback. The 31-year-old French defender has been out since last September after suffering the second cruciate ligament injury of his career.

Brown told the Manchester Evening News: "Flo could be close to match fitness now and then it's just a case of building up his confidence again."

Absenteeism is OK. Theoretically you can happily manage a team by only popping online once a month or so. What I was keen to avoid were people who disappeared without trace after the beginning of the season while still holding good players, but I know you're not going to do that. smiley - winkeye

I'll allow you one more game leeway, but if Laville doesn't appear at least on the subs' bench the week after that then I will be docking points. How's that?

The good news: after your (slightly desperate) plea, I've re-set Laville's 'Games Missed' meter to 5 games, to give him a bit of a chance. smiley - ok

The bad news: Cedric Berthelin has now missed 8 games, so I'm afraid I'm going to ask you to find a new Keeper. smiley - sadface

Here are my transfer requests:

Berthelin and 1M£ for Brad Friedel. I'm crazy but honest... he'll play every day, and clean sheets at Blackburn are as rare as in a fleabag hotel. He's American so he'll get on great with my frogs.

Saha and 1M£ for David Bellion. This breaks my heart, as Saha is twice the player Bellion is in my opinion, but not in Sir Alex's obviously, and he's the boss so he can do what he wants with his kleenex.

Tut. You're supposed to do that by email, but never mind. I'll see you clear.

Yes, sorry about that. I couldn't get my e-mail server to open, and it was getting late...

Right. You're up to 8 games again. This time I must really insist that you get rid of him.

If you really want a French replacement, why don't you offer GreyDesk a bit of cash for Silvestre?

If you've sent me an email, I haven't got it.

Final chance - sell him on this week, or get points deducted next week.
